These may shorten the time to failure (TTF) of fabricated chips unexpectedly. This paper focuses on critical path isolation, which increases timing slack of non-intrinsic critical paths and decreases timing error occurrence probability in the circuit, and proposes a design methodology of isolated circuits for TTF extension and/or lower voltage operation. The proposed methodology selects a set of FFs for isolation using ILP so that it maximumly reduces the sum of gate-wise failure probabilities. We evaluated MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) of circuits with/without critical path isolation and examined how much supply voltage could be reduced without MTTF degradation. Evaluation results show that circuits with the proposed critical path isolation achieved 25% supply voltage reduction with 1.4% area overhead. With the same supply voltage, MTTF was improved by 14 orders of magnitude.}, pages = {32--37}, publisher = {情報処理学会}, title = {低電圧・長寿命動作に向けたクリティカルパス・アイソレーション手法}, volume = {2016}, year = {2016} }
